The bases include Dover Air Force Base, Delaware; Fairchild AFB, Washington; Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota; Travis AFB, California; and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey. The KC-46As are expected to begin arriving at the second active duty-led global mobility wing in fiscal year 2020. Air Mobility Command (AMC) will soon conduct detailed, on-the-ground site surveys of each candidate base. They will assess each location against operational requirements, potential impacts to existing missions, housing, infrastructure and manpower. The Air Force plans to announce the second active duty-led KC-46A preferred alternative by the end of 2016.
